Vista + Audigy 2 ZS

[Turnschuh]

Ich mußte mir Notgedrungen mein Vista Ultimate 32 Bit installieren.
Nur jetzt stehe ich böde da, weil die Software für meine Soundcard nicht mehr geht.
Und ich nicht so recht mit der Konfiguration der verschiedenen Einstellungen klar komme.

Die Audigy 2 ZS wird erkannt und läuft auch.
Nur wie, ist schon wieder ein anderes Thema.
CMSS 2 habe ich auch schon durch einen Trick aktivieren können.

Der Tonquallität finde ich zu XP mehr als Schlecht.
Microfon ist total leise und die Wiedergabelautstärke der Boxen hat zu XP auch abgenommen, obwohl es auf 100% steht.

Was kann bzw. könnte man noch machen, außer sich gleich eine neue Karte zu Kaufen?

Hat sich erledigt, da ich es jetzt hin bekommen habe ( zum Teil).

Benutze jetzt modifizierte Treiber von Daniel_K.

Unofficial SB Audigy Series Software CD (Rev 2) for
Windows 2000 / XP / Server 2003 / Vista (32/64-bit)
by Daniel Kawakami

Fully integrated and automated install, supporting Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista (32-bit and 64-bit), installs proper drivers. Includes all latest software available.

It is MANDATORY to disable UAC (User Account Control) before installing the package on Windows Vista (specially the 64-bit version).


Revision 2 release notes:

- Removed "Diagnostics" from 64-bit systems.
- "Smart Recorder" for Windows XP now works with MP3 files and has a more friendly "My Recordings" interface.
- Includes "MP3 write" codec, the latest free version included in Audigy CDs, doesn't work with WaveStudio 7, though.
- Updated the Windows Vista driver to ver 2.15.0002.2 (build 6.0.01.1302), latest version for X-Fi which also works with Audigy cards.
- Removed old WHQL driver and non-WHQL multilanguage driver to save space.
- "Creative Engine" installer and modules updated. Installers of applications using this engine were updated as well.
- Do NOT use this new CD to uninstall or add components of a previous installation, remove the old version completely before using this new version (see note above).

Known "Windows Vista only" issues (so far):

- "Speaker Settings" crashes during uninstall; just close the "Windows encountered a problem" and uninstall will proceed.
- Environment presets acts as Karaoke presets (effects are applied to Microphone).
- Advanced EQ and Special FX presets are available through "EAX Settings" application. You can edit and save the presets, but you can't delete or edit them once saved.

Known issues:

- The Microphone controls may be disabled in Karaoke player. Just use the Windows Mixer and "EAX Settings" / "EAX Console" and to adjust the Microphone volume and effects, respectively.
- Do not install Entertainment Center unless you have one of the supported remote controls (RM-900, RM-1000, RM-1500, RM-1800), otherwise it is useless.
